Know how far, how fast and where you ride with the Garmin Edge 25. This easy to use GPS/GLONASS enabled bike computer lets you accurately track your rides and analyse your performance. Compatible with ANT+ sensors to measure heart rate, speed and cadence

Great product for money
I've no experience with other GPS computers, but I think this is worth its price. Nice readable screen, adjustable HUD, bluetooth sync. GPS starts very fast outdoor.
It's easy to config, easy to fit, and very lightweight. So I recommend this if You need a simple GPS bike computer.

Great for loging, display, rugged, basic nav OK
Great computer for logging, display is good, GPS detection is good, waterproof, rugged, decent battery life, etc, looks neat on your steed. Breadcrumb nav is fine but turns prompts are awful. Doesn't provide turn prompts in a consistent manner: at junctions / angle of corners / or waypoints from the original ride plan from garmin connect? it's a mixture of all these and half the time it doesn't prompt at all. Don't bother with the prompts, Just use the breadcrumb nav which is fine for most rides. Not great at forks in the road or junctions with narrow angles. Otherwise great - would still buy it if it didn't have turn prompts though.

Good basic computer but not a great battery
This does everything I want it to and more besides. My biggest issue is that I have to keep charging it every other ride. I can do about 2 x 30 mile rides and it is down to its last 3rd of battery, my other Garmin (500 model inherited from the other half) would last about twice as long. Its small size makes it easy to lose too!

Very good, clear screen and easily connects to computer via Garmin Connect. Easy to link to Strava

great value simple to use nav tool
if you want a simple cheap and easy to use nav tool that can down load routes, this is perfect

Excellent, if rather basic GPS
Bought this to supplement my watch (VivoActive) as a cycle to work + run + notifications killed the battery on the VA rather too quickly.
It's nice to have my numbers (in particular, I train via HR zone) out in front but I do sometimes wonder if I should spend more time looking at the road and less at the garmin.

perfect for my need
small but readable, easy, automatic synch over garmin app and iphone... not many info but enough for my needs (basically looking at my speed and km done on triathlon race and training exercise). (of course with Garmin, the plug to charge is different from the watch so you end up with lots of power cord - garmin, sunnto, apple x3)....

Great for collecting ride data... and tiny
It's small. It weighs next to nothing. Sits on your stem (or handlebars) and want all the data you would from your rides. The display is small but perfectly legible, and customisable.
Getting two mounts means the Edge 25 can be transferred between two bikes (road and mountain in my case) with speedy ease.
Data recorded can include, depending on which sensors you use, speed, distance, average speed, elevation, total ascent, heart rate, average heart rate, cadence, average cadence, and power. GPS (and GLONASS) signal is found within 2 to 5 seconds of switching on.
Upon completing a ride you save the data, which you then use to analyse your ride with free software apps. Data can be set to sync automatically when you've saved the data. That typically takes about 20 seconds to a minute.
There are several other useful functions and features that I haven't covered.
This is perfect as long as you don't want mapping as you ride. Use an app to see a map of your ride, or to create a course (route) which can then be uploaded to this device. The Edge 25 will guide you, with turn prompts, if you choose to follow one of your planned courses.
Tremendous value, with Harmon's usual high quality.

Ticks every box!
Assuming you aren't an absolute data geek, this is a fantastic piece of kit. Time, speed, distance, HRM and cadence (with add-ons) with the option to set and follow courses via Garmin Connect. I had a few teething problems setting courses which were remedied by a software update. I love it, it's absolutely perfect for me. Small, light, immediate updates to Strava and no unnecessary features. Highly recommended.

Has cadence
If you want a good value computer with GPS and cadence this is it.
07 July 2016

Excellent if you want something simple!
I love it - it gives me the information I need.
I know where I am going so do not need sat nav / maps.
Easy to read while cycling (I don't need to use my reading glasses!)
06 July 2016

Sadly a waste of money
Hoped this would be a great replacement for my 510. Size is good, display excellent, functionality should be excellent.
Live track on this device is dreadful. A couple of rides with it and live track works for about 20 minutes and that was it. Thought it might be my phone but having gone back to my 510 that worked flawlessly as ever. A third ride with the 25 it failed again.
Smart notifications have never worked.
All updates applied, no response as ever from harming support.

Pause while in cafe
Works great in all ways although I haven't tried the Bluetooth features. Was initially very disappointed as it seemed that there was no way to pause and resume a ride after stopping for a few minutes. But, press the start button just before stopping and before the auto pause then select resume when ready to go.

Great for a new cyclist
I've found this perfect as I am a new cyclist and just wanted something cheap and basic but that did everything I required. Can link to strava and edit on the laptop. Input courses and more. Excellent
29 June 2016

Lovely little piece of kit
I've had a few other brands of GPS bike computer but they never work as well as Garmin. Properly waterproof, rugged and does the stuff you need.
Only downside is that unlike my watch it doesn't synch via ant+ : you have to plug it into the usb to do so. Having said that you need to charge it anyway so it's not a big issue.
Nice

Bought for navigating a pre-plotted course
I like to plot courses and then follow them. I had difficulty using a mobile phone due to lack of audio navigations in popular sites like runkeeper, strava, etc. Also mobile phones have a battery limitation. Got this, its absolutely brilliant. Do take care when plotting courses on Garmin Connect since it did send me on private land a couple of times. But the device itself works like a charm and doubles up as an excellent speedometer and timer. Battery life is very good and GPS reception just spot on. Recommended for the price for those who don't do competitive cycling. Comes with a mount and several spares

Excellent Basic / First Bike Computer
I have tried several bike (speedo, cadence, HRM) computers, but this is the best one and the simplest to install and setup.
It's small but easy to see and really is simple to use.
I have an ANT+ HRM and the Garmin Cadence which paired instantly ... i can also load maps / circuits using Garmin connect. I've also paired with my mobile phone and upload all my rides automatically to Strava.
Highly recommended :)
13 June 2016

Amazing
This little thing is amazing , if you dont need any thing too fancy and just want to basics when on ride this is perfect, after a ride plugging it into a computer or Bluetooth to a smart phone gives all the details.
10 June 2016

Great entry level GPS
Bought this because my phone app was not reliable and glad that I did. Does everything that you may need plus connects to Strava effortlessly. Small but with a good clear screen and large number display and really easy to set up. Great little piece of kit

Fantastic GPS unit.
There's quite a few negative reviews about this Garmin and I was a little apprehensive to be honest but once I had played with all the functions to become familiar with it everything fell into place. Some people have said that the heart rate cannot be viewed or set up in the data fields which is kind of true, it's just that it becomes available when in ride mode. It shows current heart rate and zone which is good enough for me. Personally I would add that this unit is more than enough for the average cyclist and unless you are training to power or wish to follow maps/routes then you really cannot go wrong. Connecting to Ant+ sensors was easy and straight forward and once paired are memorised. Used in the velodrome on Friday chasing the Derny and everything worked first time with no problems, also seemed pretty accurate so no grumbles there.
Upload to your favourite site and all the info is there, what more do you want ?

Happy with purchase
A mate of mine has also got one of these. He is like Which? Magazine when it comes to anything. If he's got it, it is worth having.
Really easy to use. Works via Bluetooth on Strava which is what I wanted.
GPS is pretty accurate.
Still getting used to all it's features but really happy so far
28 May 2016

Simple to use
I bought this as an alternative to using my running watch (which was awkward to keep an eye on whilst out on a ride). The live track feature is really nice as it gives my other half a little peace of mind to know how I'm doing when I'm out for a few hours.
26 May 2016

Great little product
So far I'm well pleased with the Edge 25
It's small enough to sit out the way but clear enough to display all the key info
Still to test the battery life on a long ride but it held up at a recent 5 hour event
Only 1 negative and that's the proprietary power / comms cable; a standard USB would have been much better even if the compromise would have been to increase the dimensions slightly.
My only other observation is that Wiggle reduced the price of the unit by £15.69 within days of me buying it and its not covered under their price match policy :(

Everything the ameture cyclist needs.
Having used the edge 25 for about a month now I can honestly say this is a cracking little bike gps. It has all the data that you need on an easy to read display.
The navigation function is very basic but I prefer it to map based gps devices as there's only the turn prompts to tell you which way to go and so you're not constantly looking at a map in anticipation of a turn. It also tells you if you're off course.

Not waterproof
The first time it rained in Majorca in April 2016 the Edge 25 took in moisture and stopped working. Very, very poor for a Garmin device.
14 May 2016

Small but packed with the essentials
What is not to like about this. Its small and extremely easy to use. It comes with two fixings so is easily transferable between bikes. I found it very easy to fit these to my bikes and they are really secure (no rock or roll here baby). It gives you the key data as you ride (speed, distance and time is what I normally have up as default.) in a very easy to read display. It is easy to connect it up to your phone for downloading data. The course navigation is really useful and is easy to set up (on a lap top) and then sync to the device. The navigation is very simple to follow (an arrow pops up when you are nearing your turn with an audible beep together with a distance countdown) ....who needs maps ...just take in the scenery or feel the burn confident your are on the right road. The Garmin connect interface is great on its own to analyse your ride but it can easily be set up to connect automatically (and immediatly ) with Strava so you can see how many KOM/QOM you've got (or in my case haven't). If you notice I have used the word easy a lot...well that's because it is....easy to use, easy to set up and easy to read. Love it

Garmin Edge 25
Why bother with just a speedometer when you can get a light GPS computer for not much more outlay? Absolutely brilliant. Very easy to use and set up. The Garmin software for your PC and app for your phone are equally good. Excellent value for money. Ideal.
11 April 2016

its got all the necessary stats whilst cycling
I spent some time looking at GPS computers and concluded that there were only actually a few stats that I needed whilst cycling - speed, distance, elevation, cadence, ave speed and time etc - and this compact and reliable computer delivers them all. Good value for money and so far so good. Very easy to set up and integrates with Strava. I use mine with Wahoo HRM and cadence sensors but of which are also reliable and I haven't seen any drop out in connectivity. Screen is clear when cycling.
I originally wanted mapping features but soon felt these weren't really necessary. I can get these free on my phone with Strava if I ever got lost!
Overall very pleased with this purchase and would recommend.
04 April 2016

Good things in small packages
Very good, bare bones GPS unit.
Ridiculously small
Live track is brilliant, esp for mountain bikes
The only thing I would change would be ability to connect to my power meter
I've taken a series of photo's and full review here

22 March 2016

So far so good
Works well does what youd expect, connects well with the app for auto upload nad live tracking. The only downside is there is an update for the firmware that I cant install because garmin doesn't support Linux based operating systems so cant use the Garmin express software, this also means I cant push routes from the web site to device via USB

Answer:

This should work without issue, power bank chargers only have the power pins in a USB plug and are missing the two data pins so this shouldn't force the unit into storage and data transfer mode as it would when it's hooked up to a PC.

Answer:

When you are navigating your stat will display on the screen. When you are nearing your turn an arrow will pop up ( with a beep) indicating which direction to turn and (with a countdown) how far for the turn. Whilst the arrow is up your stats are all displayed except for the stat you have selected as the bottom of the three
